What Type Of Flooring Is Best For Your Home?

What excites you most about the new home building process? Is it choosing the fixtures and fittings? Selecting furniture that will elevate every space? Or, is it choosing the flooring that will be laid throughout the home? It will cover every square inch of your home so it makes perfect sense that it requires plenty of thought. What are your options? Let’s take a look.

Carpet

Where should you consider laying carpet? In the least foot-trafficked areas of your home. Avoid wear and tear by installing carpet in your bedrooms, the lounge, and home offices. They’re the perfect areas for carpet and there are a few reasons for this. Carpet muffles sound so, the noise from the lounge and bedroom will be contained by the flooring. This is also beneficial to an office space where you are trying to work. Of course, carpeting also provides extra warmth in the chillier winter months, which is something you want in your bedrooms and lounge. It’s particularly helpful for children playing on the floor as well, as it offers a plushy seat for them to enjoy their toys.

Tiles

Tiles are perfect for laundry rooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. Where there is moisture or liquid, there should be tile. This timeless choice creates a polished look that will keep you cool while looking chic. Tiles are easy to clean with a regular wipe-down and require very little long-term maintenance. There are a plethora of options available with tiles as well. There are different styles on offer, as well as patterns and colours. You can go with a solid colour throughout or create a stunning pattern to create a conversation starter.

Vinyl Planks               

Stone and hardwood are expensive and they require regular maintenance. Luckily, there is an excellent alternative. Vinyl planks are affordable and mimic the look you want, whether it’s marble, tile, distressed hardwood or natural timber. One of the reasons vinyl planks are such a popular solution is their durability. They’re ideal for high traffic areas, whether it’s pets, children or high-heels wreaking havoc. They are available in a wide range of patterns and colours, you’re sure to find the perfect solution for your new home. No one will ever be the wiser that they’re not walking on the real deal.

Floating    

Floating flooring is durable, it’s affordable, and it’s attractive. It’s made from timber which means creating a truly traditional look. There are a variety of options to choose from and you can even choose a style that will mimic a hardwood flooring look. Or, opt to incorporate styles that will provide your space with an elevated feel. One of the greatest benefits of floating floors is that it’s a suitable solution for an open-plan home, separate lounges or even bedroom areas.
